DELETE.EXE is a Win32 console application that deletes files. Win32
Console application means that it runs in a Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP
command prompt. It is an improvment over the DEL or ERASE internal
command that comes with the operating Système. Delete's features include:
* allows multiple file specifications on the command line; * optionally deletes Hidden, Système, or Read Only files;
* optionally prompts for permission to delete any file;
* optionally deletes files in directories below the current one;
* optionally removes empty directories below the current one;
* optionally overwrites files before deleting them; and
* optionally deletes only files dated before, after, or between dates.
* optionally deletes only zero length files.
* optionally deletes only files that are not present in a reference directory (useful for mirroring a directory structure when used with Xcopy).
DEL16.exe is the old DOS version of this program that runs under pure DOS, and can't see long file names.
